Upcoming Event: Christianity & Climate Change – Pope Francis and the Call for Climate Action
Islands Climate Resilience is pleased to host Jessie Dye of Earth Ministry and Washington Interfaith Power & Light to speak on the topic of creation care and climate change, Tuesday, June 7, 7 p.m., San Juan Island Grange, Friday Harbor. Her talk will include reflections on the Pope’s recent encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si, as well as the “Green Rule” of many faith traditions.
Islands Climate Resilience focuses on the health and resiliency of island communities and ecosystems facing the threats of climate change. Earth Ministry is the leading faith organization defending the “Thin Green Line” of environmental defense that is protecting Washington’s deep water ports against fossil fuel export projects. Religious communities play an important part in the life of San Juan Islands, and around the state faith leaders are becoming key advocates for climate justice.
Join in for an evening of discussion to put your thoughts into the mix of ideas on ways religious traditions can enrich the work of climate resiliency in the Islands! Please invite others in your church or neighborhood who may want to participate in this free community event.
